20 more days!

So the countdown has begun....Sorry it has been so long for an update, but I've got no time left over between work and my family lately. The end of the school year is quickly approaching and there's still a lot to get done! But anyway...about Kaleb...that's why you're reading this, right?
Kaleb is feeling much better since the last post. We did talk to his pediatritian who referred us to an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) Specialist. We went to the ENT and had Kaleb's hearing tested. He did very well and is hearing normally which was actually very surprising to the doctor since there was still fluid in Kaleb's ears left over from the previous infections. Basically he said that Kaleb is definitely a candidate for ear tubes considering his history of ear infections (5 since December), but since his hearing isn't being affected, it's not really necessary at this point. There are also some other factors we looked at....he's only got 4 more weeks in day care before he's out for the summer... the big winter, spring time sick/allergy season is coming to an end... and he's getting older and should hopefully outgrow this soon. So, we've decided to wait it out and see if we can get over this without the surgery.
Here's what we've been up to lately... Mimi and Mama took Kaleb to the park to play last weekend. Here he is chasing a squirrel...
runnin' around the park...
Mimi babysat Kaleb so Mama and Dada could go to the Dave Matthews Band concert at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion. We very rarely get pictures together anymore...
Mimi and Kaleb before she left us... He can definitely say her name now...
Thanks Mimi for babysitting!
Kaleb and Dada walking to church... The picture's a little blurry, but he was so cute that day.
